THE DICKIES - KILLER KLOWNS
"WHAT A MOVIE -- WHAT A SHOW!"
This was around during the late great 80's and then it disappeared. The video tells the whole story of how a magic circus tent appeared after a flying saucer sighting. Inside are the horrifying Killer Klowns.
They wrap people up in cotton candy and shoot them with lazer pistols out in the street -- its actually kinda scary.
The soundtrack song is interesting with the calliope sound. This movie, and video for that matter, are really underated. This is not a chick movie. Its a TV Party type movie that is best enjoyed with a roomful of your beer buddies. Still, for all its shortcomings in the romance department this movie is over the top 80's entertainment.

THE SEX PISTOLS - LIVE IN SWEDEN - 1977
THE SPOTS - SEX PISTOLS ON TOUR
The Anarchy in the UK tour was a flop.... it had THE DAMNED, JOHNNY THUNDERS, THE CLASH and most of the dates were cancelled. Bad press and attacks by local government created a maelstrom of confusion. The press worked against them in a lot of ways as the controversey grew.
Sid Vicious beat up journalist Nick Kent with a chain. Vicious also landed in jail after accidently blinding a girl in one eye at a punk gig after throwing a beer mug. Band manager Malcom McLaren had a hard time booking them anywhere because he feared getting arrested. Strategicially working out of his Picadilly Square office, Glitterbest, he wormed his way through the grimey streets of London searching out future gigs. Screen on the Green would no longer accept them and either would the 100 Club...... So they bellied up in strip joints, prisons and "fashionable art parties.... any sh**^% that didn't reek of rock and roll".
When that happened the band played secret shows as THE SPOTS, (Sex Pistols On Tour)... Malcom got the gigs after Steve Jones threatened Malcom... maybe it was Johnny Rotten... they threatened to walk out on the band. In 1977 the band popped up in Sweden of all places. These were high energy gigs although you couldn't really tell from this footage because the quality of it is very poor. There was no real "punk show" aesthetic to compare anything with back in 1977. But the kids were ecstatic to see the Pistols on stage.
The ceiling was very low in this club. This could have been a very small club but thanks to the lighting you can't really tell how big this venue was. My guess is that it was probably very small... capable of maybe only holding 300 people.... if that. Everything is blown out of proportion in the history books. Authors make every venue out to be a mini Madison Square Garden..... My guess is that these rooms were very small.
Steve Jones said these were the greatest gigs the bands played. The energy was very high.

HOWARD STERN - WHAT A MESS
Here's three clips.... The Gilbert Gottfried clips are pretty funny -- they are older ones that poke fun at Andrew "Dice" Clay.... This is from his first show he had on WOR Channel 9. Some would argue that this was his peak......
It comes in two parts......
The clip with Elegant Elliot Offen reflects what sort of people he had on in the 1990's. Elliot has a LOT of problems. I ran into this guy in the Brazil Day parade in NYC a few years back. He wore a black nightie and pumps and carried an umbrella. If memory serves this guy wore a bullet bra......
I like to watch these wacko people fly off the handle and wig out. Thats one of the things I miss about New Yorkers in general..... and living there, you know? Never a dull moment.
Watch his reaction when Stern accuses him of wearing gumball jewelry. The last clip turns into a complete over the top moral argument.
This is actually better than community access television.

ZOOGZ RIFT - ON THE UNCLE FLOYD SHOW
"what a show............."
In the 80's you didn't have a whole lot of channels to choose from. If you lived in my house with my cheapskate step father you had NO CHOICES.... The only saving grace I had during this cable early era was to create my own entertainment. In between endless rounds with my Atari 2600 I could get in the Uncle Floyd Show out of Newark, New Jersey. This proved to be a great deal after all.
The Uncle Floyd Show featured Squeeze, The Ramones, and David Johanson from THE NEW YORK DOLLS...... And then sometimes you wouldn't get so lucky and you would end up with a wacko band talent like Aztec Two Step, Gary US Bonds and ZOOGZ RIFT.
Zoogz was a Dadaist art performer and a creative soul. He was a free form artist. But judging from this video clip he was also somewhat of a lunatic.
Here is the man himself,
"It took us months to learn how to play out-of-sync like that. "
Zoogz, Jan. 2007
Back when TV was still good!
